happy as she thought she would be
when the weight of Augustine Layard's
presence was removed. She missed his
cheerful smile, bis quiet. reassuring
WAYS his constant thoughtfulness and
attentions.
One day she heard Mr. Brewster
talking to his wife in the little oak
parlor, while she lay spiritless in the
hammock where perfumed honeysuckle
SPRAYS almost touched her cheek.
" You saw Dr. Layard2" said Mrs.
Brewster's quick, questioning voice.
"How did he look9" " What did he
say?r
" He looks like a ghost" answered the
young lawyer. And he says he has
never known a happy minute since he
left Schollopshell Farm"
Goodness me- said Mrs. Brewster.
" The fact is" proceeded her husband
she loves your little friend liInas Brown
TO distraction, and he was just beginning
to fancy that she might perhaps be per-
suaded TO return his devotion, when that
unlucky mock marriage, or real marriage,
whichever You like to call it-destroyed
his chances for good and all. And so
he is wretched. And after all | don't
see that he was many degrees to blame p
But did it destroy his chanees?" " said
Mrs Brewster rehectively.
You don't think it possible she cares
for him /" cried the lawyer.
/ shouldn't be surprised if she did-a
little I" confessed his wife.
If he thought so he would come here
at once" said Mr.. Brewster, eagerly.
Lilas had listened, and the roses and
lilies succeeded one another ON her cheek,
but at this she rose and came to the win
dow, leaning over the ledge like a pretty
picture in its frame.
Mr. Brewster" shaid she, Il beg
your pardon, but | have hear d all that
you said And as for Dr. Layard-"
"Welli" questioned the lawyer, half
smiling in his sleeves at the charming
confession.

And then Tilias disappeared among
the vines like frightened child.
SO DIR. Layard came back-and old
DIR. Jugge was summoned, and the
young pair were married over second
time
So you really loved all the time"
said Augustine, tenderly looking into his
brides eyes.
"But didn't know it until after you
had gone" said Lilias, hanging down
her head.

Fun for the Lookers-on.


1t is accounted "great fun" to witness
the first rides of the yearlings, 50 we will
go down there and laugh at their mis-

Mounting the stairs of the gallery, we
look down upon large space strewn
with tanbark. at one end of which is a
row of some twenty horses with water

around the hall, tumbling their riders in

from the calamity of the restoration

Hence, unless Napoleon should execute a
new eou,, ffa there was nothing for him
but abdieaiion.
ON the 18th of July, 1915, Napoleon
surrendered himself on board the British
man-of-war Bellerophon. OF his appear
ance and bodily condition during the
two months of his stay on this vessel we
have an interesting account in the narra-
tive Of Captain Maitland, who command
ed the ship. Maitland describes him as
"a remarkably strong, well-built man,
about five feet seven inches high, his
limbs particularly well formed, with a
fine ankle and small foot, of which he
seemed rather vain, as he always wore,
while on board the ship, silk stockings
and shoes. His hands were also very
small, and had the plumpness of wom-
ans rather than tie ROBUSTNESS of a
mans. His eyes, light gray teeth good !;
and when he smiled, the expression of
his countenance was highly pleasing !;
when under the intiu ence of disappoint-
ment, however it assumed dark, and
gloomy cast. His hair was of "a very
dark brown, nearly approaching black,
and, though little thinl.on the top and
and front, had not gray hair amongst
it. His complexion was very uncom-
mon one, being of light sallow color. DIFF
fering from almost any other | ever met.
From his having become corpuient, he
had lost much OF his personal activity,
and. if we are 10 give credit to those who
attended him, very considerable por-
ton of his mental energy was also gone.
1t is certain his habits were very lethar-
gic while he was on board the Bellero-
phon for though he went to bed at
eight or nine O'Clock in the evening, and
did not rise till about the same hour in
the morning. he frequently fell asleep on
the sofa in the cabin in the course of the
day. His general appearance was that
of man rather older than he then was. "
